I just want to say sorry about how long this took! It takes me a lot more time to write fighting parts at times. I have to fit Shiaye in some how and it gets a bit difficult at times. It shouldn't have taken me this long to write it and I just want to say I'm very sorry!

Shiaye's P.O.V.
"Alright team Asuma, Shiaye, let's go." Kakashi walked on waving for me. "Alright!" We yell together before heading out.
"Thanks Kakashi, we owe you one."
The Akatsuki will pay for what they have done to my friends.
We jump tree to tree going close to where they were. "Alright Let's stop here and go over the plan one last time." Kakashi landed behind a rock with us following. "Shikamaru, you have the floor."
"I'd like to mix it up a bit more since you two are with us now. I'll break it down so listen carefully. Memorize it." Shika looked at all of us before continuing on. This is going to be a breeze I hope.
"So that's the plan." Shika handed Kakashi a bottle. "Use this when you get a chance. Hold onto it until then." He turned to me. "Think you could help him out with that. It would also get Shiki something."
"I can only try. Who's to say I'll even get close to him." I reply thinking back to when I was in that cave. That man with the green eyes, he's the one we're taking blood from. His chakra was off some how. I can't explain it though.
"I'm impressed how much you've learned from the enemy, and only from one encounter." Kakashi looked up at Shika. "Well the other guy is still a mystery." Shika nodded.
"His chakra is off. There's something about it that makes it come off weird." They look at me. "When I was in the cave trying to save Gaara, the whole group was there. His chakra stood out the most to me. There is most defiantly something up with him. Don't turn your back on him."
"Okay. Let's do it." Kakashi stood up. "Let's trace their trail." Shika looked over at me and stood up. "Keep moving. It will be easier to track them." They all jumped up in the trees while I activated my sharingan.
I jump up concentration on the area around. Look for his chakra and locate it. "Nothing yet." I say as we come upon the place where the trail ends. "The rain has washed away any of their tracks. Shiaye try here. Ino take possession of the bird."
Ino slumped back on a tree. She sprung awake just as they got closer. "Let's head out." We all start running in that direction before hiding our chakra signatures.
Once they passed Shika, he started his shadow possession justu. 'They know.' I flash up to the top of the tree before throwing paper bombs. Both of the men slid back without getting hit. "His arm, it's harden."
This guy is giving me the creeps!
Shika jumped out of the smoke I created and threw Asuma's chakra blades on their shadows. Ace. I slid down further in the tree and looked through a hole to wait for the whole signal.
Shika casted his shadow just again and captured Hidan. He made him walk backwards and grab his sword before running towards Kakuzu. "Dunk!" Hidan yelled out as he took off one of his partner's sleeve.
A hand sprang from the ground making the chakra blade go up into the air. Something else came out of the ground. "Is that a heartbeat?" I look over the tree side and down more. That's just not a heartbeat, It's an actual heart! Can this guy move his heart?
But the real question is, why would he put it out in the open like that?
This is nuts. "As you can see my abilities are countless. You'd be better off retreating and calculating your next move. That's if you're smart unlike my partner." His whole arm was together again as he looked over Shika.
"Hey Kakazu! I can't control my arm!" I look down to see Hidan rushing towards him swinging his blade around like a mad man. Here it is! Shika pinned the other guy signaling Choji into action. Choji jumped out as his hair got spiky. "Spiking human boulder!" Just as he was about to hit Kakuzu, Kakuzu made sign. Earth?
What chakra is bad on Earth?!
Rubble and smoke flew though the air as dust covered the place that was hit. Did he get him or was it to late?
Choji jumped out of the smoke before it cleared. Smoke was coming off Kakuzu. His whole body had harden this time. What are all of this guys abilities? In the cave I thought I sensed all five chakra natures from him, but that would be impossible unless...
Does that mean he using something like that chick did? The one who help invade the village when Sora was in it. She stole bodies of people to obtain chakra. I can't tell with this guy because of how covered up he is.
We're at such a disadvantage with this guy! We know nothing!"Be afraid you insult fools! Kakazu hurry up and undo this spell!" Hidan looked over at his partner before looking back at Shika and Choji. Now's my chance!
I lowered my chakra before making hand signs. I jump down before shoving my arm through his chest where his heart should be. Chidori flared in his chest as I smirked. "I didn't even feel you approach."
"Opps. Didn't mean to sneak up on you like that. You just seemed so vulnerable." My smirk grew. "What the heck is going on here? What was all of that about physical attacks being useless on you!" Hidan yelled making me look over at him.
"How did you do it Shiaye?" Shika asked looking me over. "You might not have been able to see it, but when Choji attack, Kakuzu made a hand sign. Lightning triumphs over Earth. Maybe next time when you're trying to be sneaky, check your surroundings."
"You were able to read and interpret my signs. So quickly to. That can only mean one thing." He turns his head around to look at my face. "Uchiha."
(Sorry I stole Kaka sensei's spot light!)
"Shiaye!" Kakuzu started to falter as I rip my hand from his chest. "So a punch to the heart, and you're done just like that?" I look over at Hidan to have Kakashi come into my view. "And you're next."
Kakashi had a chidori going before the air around me picked up. Not again! Kakashi was thrown into me making us go back. My back felt all of the trees before finally I fell. I groaned as Kakashi landed right on top of me.
"Get off." I push him off me wincing.
'How are we Shiki?' I ask putting my hand over my forehead. 'Better than that could have been.' I sigh sitting up as Kakazu took off his cloak.
There are four masks on his back. His skin started to bump up as his stitching came undone. One of the mask had a hole in it. Something started to form from the masks. "Are those people?" I ask leaning against the tree.
This is some really bad chakra.
"Look Lord Jashin at your faithful servant! I give my body and soul to the kills to come and in your name, I will rip their guts out!" The masked figures started to walk towards Shika and Choji before it dropped.
"Kakuzu! What the hell was that?! You put on this big show and before we even get started, one of them drop dead! Come on that's pretty lame if you ask me!" Hidan yelled looking back at his partner.
That the one I hit. Does that mean if he breaks the mask, that it will die?
Both of them started arguing.
"I'm sick of being beaten by these losers! Let's go with the usual." Kakuzu nodded towards us before making hand signs. Hidan ran at Kakashi drawing his blade back. One of the mask appeared behind Hidan.
"Kakashi!" I yelled jumping up just to be caught in the blast. I felt my feet touch the ground as I tried to grab onto anything. Concentrate chakra to your feet!
Soon I was completely stopped.I look up only to see Kakashi deflecting lightning. What the?!
"That was pretty good Kakashi Hatake." Hidan said smirking. "But, can you get through this one?" Kakuzu made hand signs again. Fire? I start running as the fire comes out of the masks mouth.
I jump in front of Kakashi just in time for the fire to go around us. My teeth clenched as it started to burn my hands. "Jump back!" I yell knowing that I can't take much more. They all jump out.
As the fire surrounds me I hear my hair sizzle and my clothes burn. Perfect. The hair is a first though. Finally the fire goes out and I see Kakashi and Hidan going at it again."You okay Shiaye? You're burnt." Ino walk up next to me as Kakashi bounced back. "She'll be fine." Kakashi answered for me. I'm still trying to figure out why I got burnt. Usually this doesn't happen.
"You've used the Lightning Blade to much." I whisper looking over at him. "Yeah. This can't drag on much longer." He responds looking at us all.
"They work so good together." Ino says looking over towards them."Yeah but Shiaye got one of them with the Chidori. Why isn't he dead?" Choji looked at me. "I only got one of them. From the looks of all this, each of them have an element. I'm hoping I got the water one. Kakuzu has Earth. My guess is, that the one I got, died for him."
"So we need to destroy all of the masks to permanently destroy him." Ino looked over at the guys. "Right again. Each of them are hearts of the people I've won against. They can easily be replenished, with your hearts for example."Everyone tensed up beside me.
"You're not afraid Uchiha? Maybe I should just come rip it out of your chest already?" Hidan smirked as I gave him a small sly smile. "Sure. Go ahead. It won't be useful anyways. It doesn't beat."
"Yo Leaf ninja. Do you burry your people? If so, that's too bad. Kakuzu will probably dig his cash cow up no matter what." I gritted my teeth glaring at Hidan. "That guy wasn't any fun. He went down like it was nothing. Where the hell is the fun in that?"
Calm down. They're just trying to make us angry. Though, all of this talk is making my mouth dry. Shika wanted it from that guy, so how do I get it from him? If he's any good, he'll have his guard up at all times now because of my shot.
The thirst is even more over powering than the anger.
"So I know you're looking for revenge, but I think you're out of your league here. You three are just pups. You must have been his students." Three? My eyes go over to the three standing next to me. Right! These guys are the ones who need this victory.
'The blood is taking you over.' Shiki says as I freeze on the inside. 'Every time this happens, I become more and more like you.' She laughs a bit before growling.
"If he was the one teaching you, you're pretty much screwed." Hidan said making Choji take a step forward. Shika stopped him before he did anything reckless.
"Choji, he's just trying to anger you." My voice was raspy as I faced him. "Coming from a person who's brother killed all of her family and joined us. I don't understand why he left such weaklings like you and the other one."
I turn around and throw a kunai just missing Hidan's head. "You're not bent over him still, fatso?" Choji charged towards Hidan making me focus more.
No blood. No blood. NO BLOOD!
Choji expanded his arms before getting in a stance to punch Hidan before he was stopped. Shika had him under shadow possession justu.
That was my only time to do what I needed. My kunai nicked Kakuzu's shoulder before it came back to me. Before any of the blood could drop, it was in my mouth. "Blood type A." I mumble dropping the kunai.
Hidan jumped in the air getting ready to attack Choji before he was blocked by Kakashi. As Choji fell out of the shadow possession jutsu, Kakuzu appeared in front of him. "Choji!" I yell breaking completely out of my trance.
Choji stood up punching him only to be blocked. Kakuzu threw him back making him go into a tree.
Kakuzu was in the process of jumping over to him as I jump in front of Choji. I hold my hands up putting chakra and fire into them as Kakuzu made contact with them. My feet slid back a bit before I put chakra into them and sent him flying.
I jump up pulling my sword out and bringing it back. He hardened his arm catching my sword and throwing it into the air. Kakuzu made contact with my face before I could block him making me go down into the ground.
